Can from Asda, High Wycombe. Black with ruby-brown hints, a mild fizz, and beige head that quickly fades. A sweetish start with brown sugar and chocolate. Blackcurrant comes through in the roasty, mildly bitter finish. Decently rich mouthfeel. A hint of acridity in the aftertaste, but otherwise very enjoyable albeit simple. Nice to have an Impy stout that's not stuffed full of flavourings and adjuncts!

440ml can. Murky yellow with a small white head. Aroma of guava, mango, peach, herbal. Taste is sweet and juicy tropical fruits, peach, guava, mango, some light dank herbal notes, Nelson getting a bit lost in the mix. Medium bodied.
A brilliant DIPA, best I've had from NM in a long long time.

Geprobeerd van tap tijdens een weekendje Phantasialand met LiekevdV, JoepvW, HilligvG en BartvG. Het is een diep donkerbruin bier met een beige schuim. Het heeft een aroma van chocolade en toffee. De smaak is vol gebrande mout, koffie chocolade en Caramel.

My Patron Saint Project Beer#14, today celebrating Saint Medard, the Patron Saint Of Meteorologists through a Patrons Project brew. This beer is raining down my palate with relative ease given its strength, which isn't overly apparent in taste. It has a good body obviously. Low level citrus can't produce a bitterness, but some flavour can be found, although nothing significant. It feels like a mild breadiness is on the verge of breaking through.

My Patron Saint Project Beer#15, today celebrating Saint Brendan, the Patron Saint Of Navigators through a Patrons Project brew. I'm navigating this strong but dominant citrus brew at Northern Monk. Although the taste is there, there's no citric bitterness about this one, subdued by the alcohol content, without this really impacting beyond its full body. It's flavoursome enough I guess.

Stunned to find a BIPA in Saino's. WTF! Pours deep brown towards black with dissipating beige/tan foam. Aroma: toasty malt, mild coffee, charcoal, some grass. Taste: light to moderate sweet & moderate+ bitter. The taste follows. Caramel, berries. Medium body with low-ish carbonation. Mildly dry finish.

Can from Asda. Black body with a tan head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of Marmite, dried berries and rust. Flavour of dark chocolate and rust. Medium body with a slick texture. Light fizz. This is fine but lacking in the complexity and depth I’d expect of this style and ABV.
